Your gloves turned out great! Love the pumpkins. :-) I laughed out loud at the tourist dangling from Zach's ear. I could see the same thing happening with our son in Japan. Cubs. What else can I say. Today will decide it. It's so stressful. Go Cubs! Just for you my friend.Blessings,Betsy

Happy birthday Zach!!! How funny, his earring is a tourist in the wrong place at the right time. Or is it the right place at the wrong time? I love your fingerless gloves!! They are so cute with their pumpkin buttons. Your recipe sounds so easy I could possibly cook up a few pairs of them for Christmas gifts. Not watching Cubs tonight, but when it is all over I plan to have a recorded World Series marathon and knit through all 7 games.

Hope your son had a great birthday. Love your mitts and the idea of using a button hole for the thumb. I though the upside down pumpkins were ladybugs at first glance. Oh well, both are cute. Funny earring story!
